014 Breaking the Blame Cycle: Awakening Through Radical Ownership, Embodied Change & Brave Speech with Traca Savadogo Artwork

The WakeUp Protocol

Something inside of you knows… there’s more. You’re right!

The WakeUp Protocol is a podcast for sensitive, curious souls who know there’s more to life than what we’ve been taught.

Hosted by Nadja Haldimann, this is a space for big questions, deep remembering, and honest conversations about what it means to come back to your true self, beneath the conditioning, beyond the mask, outside the matrix.

Each week, you’ll hear from guests who are in it too, navigating their own awakenings with courage and grace. We talk about grief, near-death experiences, psychedelics, illness as initiation, visions, and the mysteries that science hasn’t yet caught up with, but our bodies and hearts already know to be true.

This is a space for remembering and fierce truths. For sovereignty, soul, and the kind of conversations that leave you changed.

If you’re waking up... welcome home.

014 Breaking the Blame Cycle: Awakening Through Radical Ownership, Embodied Change & Brave Speech with Traca Savadogo

October 29, 2025 • Nadja Haldimann • Season 1 • Episode 14

What if your life could shift with a single act of courage... like saying yes to a TEDx talk that changes everything?

In this episode of The WakeUp Protocol, co-hosts Nadja Haldimann and Colin Shanteau sit down with Traca Savadogo: TEDx speaker, strategist, storyteller, and expert in the neuroscience of transformation.

Traca’s story is one of reinvention through curiosity. Years ago, she gave a TEDx talk that went viral, and it changed everything. That one act of vulnerability opened a new chapter in her life. It led her to Toastmasters, to exploring the science of neuroscience, and ultimately to becoming a powerful guide for people navigating change, resistance, and reinvention.

In this conversation, Traca shares what it takes to rewire survival patterns, interrupt the autopilot, and create real momentum through micro-moments of aligned action.

Her presence is warm, wise, and deeply empowering. Traca reminds us that transformation doesn’t require a massive leap, it begins with one small YES to the truth of who you are.

She shares insights on:

✨ Rewiring the nervous system and honoring resistance

✨ How storytelling becomes a catalyst for transformation

✨ Trusting yourself through small, intentional actions

✨ Moving from fixing to listening, and what that opens

✨ The quiet power of presence in your everyday life

✨ Why lasting change starts in the body, not just the mind

This episode is a love note to your future self, the one who already knows it’s time to begin again.
